In mathematics, zero is considered to be unsigned, in that it isn't positive or negative.
On the other hand, in computing there is signed zero, which is positive by default, and sometimes negative as well. This is standardized by IEEE 754-2008.
However, the sign bit and the mathematical positivity of zero are two different things and therefore they must be treated separately.

Positive and negative whole numbers and zero?
Positive and negative whole numbers and zero are integers. Zero is neither negative or positive.
Why does the product of an integer multiplied by itself cannot be negative?
There are just three possible cases: Positive integer: positive x positive = positive. Negative integer: negative x negative = positive. Zero: zero x zero = zero.
What is the difference about positive and negative?
negative is below zero, positive is above
Is zero a positive or negative?
0 is a neutral number. zero is nor positive or negative because NEGITIVE being a number smaller than zero POSITIVE being a number bigger than zero so since zero isn't being smaller or bigger zero isn't positive or negative
What is a positive or negative number?
A positive numbe is a number above zero and a negative number is a number below zero.

What is the negative of zero?
There is no negative of zero, nor is there a positive. Zero is no value, hence it has no positive or negative value.

Is a negative and a positive a positive?
In math, a positive is a number greater then zero, and a negative number is less than zero.
Is zero a positive?
Zero is neither positive nor negative

There can't be a negative zero. zero is neither negative nor positive.
What is a positive and What is a negative?
In math, a positive is a number greater then zero, and a negative number is less than zero.
Is zero a member of the set of positive integers?
No. Zero is neither positive nor negative, by definition. A positive number is greater than zero. A negative number is less than zero. Although, zero is a non-negative number (a set that includes all positive numbers and zero).
Can there be such number as negative zero?
No. Zero is neither negative nor positive.
